Thanks

To be honest I think 90% of minis out there need a tone of body work - some look great until you start digging.. you just don't know

I know what you mean, started what seemed a simple job of changing the sill, turned out to be a new floor pan aswell.

Its been a long time but i have some updates!

Following some great work in the paint shop the mini is now back and sitting in the garage waiting for me to put it all back together.

The first time I've had a professional paint a car for me, and i have to say it looks mint!

Now i just need a small fortune to build it all back together. Fun times ahead!





cheers Mark.

Yeah I'm really pleased - just have to make sure I do it justice and button it up right.

Tape everything is a good shout - will have to take my time with this one, already worried about scratching it!

Still no full car shot.. Want to get it out the garage and into day light for that.

Not really had much 'car time' since Bingley, nice start to the show season, had a good look at some well built cars and new parts on offer.
I also managed to pick up a new steering rack so fitted that at the weekend



So following a good look round I couldn't resist a few bits of bling.

Billet alloy top shock mounts



Billet alloy tower bolts



Just working on the alternator bracket before lifting the car over the engine.
